The investigation of the type material of Archangelica roylei Lindl . clearly showed that this name is related to the plant, now known in taxonomic and floristic literature of the Himalayan flora as Ligusticum elatum Edgew. The plant belongs neither to Angelica nor to Ligusticum , being closer to Seseli mucronatum ( Schrenk ) Pimenov & Sdobnina . A new combination, Seseli roylei ( Lindl .) Pimenov & Kljuykov , has been proposed. Another combination, S . alboalatum ( Haines ) Pimenov & Kljuykov , has been proposed for a closely related species, previously treated also in Ligusticum . The correct name for the Western Himalayan species of Angelica sect. Archangelica is A. oreadum Diels .
